jasonwas Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 24 years old. Thinning mostly around hairline/front/temples > top. Should I get HT now to strengthen hairline and then get another one down the line, or wait a couple years before getting first HT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 27, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 27, 2023 Have you considered shaving your head? If not then your first port of call should be medication. Surgery is always a last result. I'm not a doctor but have you tried finasteride and/or minoxidil? You want to stabilize your hair loss situation. If you have surgery now without seeing if medication can help you, at 24 you will definitely continue to have further loss and that means further surgeries. All the best.

Senior Member Mountinvan Posted February 27, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2023 I would look at medication first. There seems like some promising new treatments in pipeline— hang in there . Surgery always a possibility but wait until everything stabilizes so you know what you are chasing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Doron Harati Posted February 27, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2023 Definitely too early for surgery, you can try meds and treatments first. I would wait 3-4 years to have estimation for HT. 1 Doron Harati - Patient coordinator for HDC Hair Clinic, HT procedures are done by MD Doctors with Microscope FUE.

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted February 27, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2023 Only do surgery if you're willing to take meds too Your hairline would look great with surgery. But you can also try concealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) @jasonwas, 24 years of age is typically a bit early to undergo hair transplant surgery. However, there are always exceptions to every rule. Many of these exceptions have to do with a patient’s particular circumstances and whether or not they have the characteristics that make for a good candidate in retrospect of age. In your case however, I didn’t see any mention of non-surgical solutions. If you have not yet tried Propecia/finasteride or Rogaine/minoxidil, I strongly suggest trying to use them for at least a year to see what they can do for you. At the very least, if they can slow down or even stop the progression of male pattern baldness hen you may end up being a good candidate for surgical hair restoration in a year or two. But at this point, I would truly focusing on non-surgical solutions and doing whatever you can to get your current hair loss under control. And then in a couple years, you can reevaluate whether or not hair transplant surgery is right for you.

You won’t know until you try. I never thought I would look good if I shaved my head. But I did like it. Unfortunately my scalp was covered with scars.
